Re: Ac wire question

If I'm not mistaken it should plug into the switch near the center vent? (if that makes sense)

Re: Ac wire question

Sounds like the 2-prong plug that goes to the A/C compressor switch. Kinda hard to find but it's located behind the heater box under the dash, slightly to the right of the cig. lighter. This is what you're looking for:



The switch mounts with the connector prongs down, and the button activator on top. The button is operated by the A/C and Heater outlet slider at the center of the HVAC control.

Re: Ac wire question

Glad I could help. Last year we did a lot of A/C work on my K20 and had several issues. Installed virtually all new parts but compressor would not come on because that switch was faulty. Had a bear of a time finding it and replacing it.
Good luck with yours.

Re: Ac wire question

Yes, there's a spring from the vacuum actuator to a tab on the vent door.
